There we go then

Matt has put up a useful thing on how to introduce yourself in Maori (well, useful if you need to introduce yourself in Maori anyway). I'm not sure how the olds got here. Mum arrived by boat when she was four (sounds like it was an amazing trip - boat to Canada, train across Canada, boat to NZ - you can kind of see her and her parents on that trip in the picture 'My mother, aged 4' here), but I don't know what the boat was. Dad arrived when he was 25, but I have no idea how, probably by plane.

Oh, the olds reckon the baby in the picture next to 'My mother, aged 4' is me, not Ben.
